On Asymptotic Regimes of Orthogonal Polynomials with Complex Varying Quartic Exponential Weight

We study the asymptotics of recurrence coefficients for monic orthogonal polynomials πn(z) with the quartic exponential weight exp[−N(1/2z²+1/4tz⁴)], where t∈C and N∈N, N→∞. Our goal is to describe these asymptotic behaviors globally for t∈C in different regions. We also describe the ''bre...

Zusammenfassung:We study the asymptotics of recurrence coefficients for monic orthogonal polynomials πn(z) with the quartic exponential weight exp[−N(1/2z²+1/4tz⁴)], where t∈C and N∈N, N→∞. Our goal is to describe these asymptotic behaviors globally for t∈C in different regions. We also describe the ''breaking'' curves separating these regions, and discuss their special (critical) points. All these pieces of information combined provide the global asymptotic ''phase portrait'' of the recurrence coefficients of πn(z), which was studied numerically in [Constr. Approx. 41 (2015), 529-587, arXiv:1108.0321]. The main goal of the present paper is to provide a rigorous framework for the global asymptotic portrait through the nonlinear steepest descent analysis (with the g-function mechanism) of the corresponding Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) and the continuation in the parameter space principle. The latter allows to extend the nonlinear steepest descent analysis from some parts of the complex t-plane to all noncritical values of t. We also provide explicit solutions for recurrence coefficients in terms of the Riemann theta functions. The leading order behaviour of the recurrence coefficients in the full scaling neighbourhoods the critical points (double and triple scaling limits) was obtained in [Constr. Approx. 41 (2015), 529-587, arXiv:1108.0321] and [Asymptotics of complex orthogonal polynomials on the cross with varying quartic weight: critical point behaviour and the second Painlevé transcendents, in preparation].
